BBC TV "WDYTYA?" Series 10 Episode 7 William Roache

[groom]

It does annoy me on WDYTYA that because children are with grandparents etc on census day they start talking about how they must have been brought up by them. Why doesn't anyone point out they might only have been there on that day?

I found Zilla an amazing person. Sadly William Roache was just a bore.

Me too! In 1911 she was living with her parents in Blackpool.

Yes I thought that  -- it is only written on one day,  I felt there was a lot of unjustification,   but I will watch it again, without the drama of Bills voice, etc   and maybe not worry too much about children packed off all over the place.....

It was the 1881 census that annoyed me-  They carefully read out that James was a quarryman...ignoring the fact that the census said he was also a grocer - and yes I have checked the census in case I had been seeing things. Why ignore this crucial word grocer ?? made no sense to me.

[KGarrad]

zzzzzzzzzzzz.  The most boring episode yet!

  Wot?!

One of the better episodes!
Had some actual genealogy

Unlike the Patrick Stewart episode - now that WAS boring!

[groom]

I suppose they pick up on certain things as that makes better viewing. It does mean now that William Roache is thinking things about his family that may not necessarily be true.

I double checked as well; strange to not mention it.

There were assumptions again, some bits were intersting but the dramatic wows were getting on my nerves. I had more fun going round alton towers on a frightnights event! Going in and out the buildings , the medium and his minders were the irritating ones that night!
